Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northcentral Regional Office: Department of Environmental Protection, Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, (717) 327-0530.
Location: Riverside Borough, Northumberland County.
Project Description: The approved update calls for construction of a new sewage collection system, pump station and force main to serve the Sunny Acres/Blue Development section of Riverside Borough. The project will allow the borough to abandon a local municipal treatment facility presently serving a portion of the Sunny Acres subdivision. The existing STP has had a lengthy history of providing inadequate treatment.
The new system will initially serve approximately 74 existing equivalent dwelling units from Sunny Acres and the Blue Development. The estimated 26,700 gallons per day of collected wastewater will be conveyed to the existing Riverside Borough collection system for conveyance of this flow to Danville for treatment. Capacity will be provided in the new sewer extension for future connection of other existing and/or new development in this area of the borough.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
